Block all entry points
This is the most effective home grown idea to check rodent entry. Take a flashlight and check your building’s out walls, crawl spaces, basement, foundation and roof etc. You may find tiny cracks or holes in the walls which you should plug using impenetrable sealants like concrete, cement, caulk, steel wool ball or block holes with steel wire mesh screen if they are big. Blocking entry in to the house is the foremost prevention measure which will prove effective if the infestation is about to take place. Rodents are not going to hang around your periphery and will quietly move away to another location.
Deny food and water
Rodents need food and water to survive and by denying both you can defeat rodents effectively. Rodents are scavengers who will dig in to your garbage cans or trash bins to salvage food from leftovers. So close the bins with a tight lid and also keep the bins away from your home. Also make it a practice to take garbage out and handover to the garbage haulers. Remove all water sources from outside and that would include water puddles on the grass, birdfeed or birdbath, pitchers or buckets with water etc. if you have a tank full of water then make sure to close the tank with heavy cover. If you are fond of eating outdoors such as on your lawn or yard then make sure to remove all traces of food after the party is over. Resist hosting BBQ parties or make sure to remove traces of leftovers, meat scraps, oil and half empty soda bottles.
